A few new band collaborations to report…
Several members of Scream have formed a new side project. In fact most of Scream minus guitarist Skip Henry have formed Easy Money, a more acoustic-geared side project that will perform classic rock and Southern rock favorites of the 70’s and 80’s. Easy Money will perform on Friday evening, December 1st, at the Blue Juniata VFW in Mount Union in a benefit event for the Fast Trackers Relay For Life Team.
Another new band to watch out for is The Verge, featuring three well-known area music names. In the new project, Jeff Renner, who has played recently on area stages as solo artist Lone Wolf, will sing and play guitar. Former Flame Sky bassist and solo performer Matt Burns will play bass and sing, and former Sidestep drummer Steve Brulia staffs the drum kit. The Verge will play classic and modern rock spanning the past four decades.
Harrisburg Online (www.hbgonline.com), a website covering Harrisburg area music and events, presented its first-ever awards event this past week. The 2006 Central PA Music Awards presentation took place this past Thursday night at the Appalachian Brewing Company in Harrisburg, with winners determined by online voting. Several bands and performers you’ve heard on the “Backyard Rocker” came away with some hardware Thursday night; including Sherri Mullen for best acoustic act, Adrian Blitzer for best cover band, Herbie for best jam band, Spinebelt for best metal band, Holis for best rock/pop band, and Hierosonic for two awards, best original band and best local CD.
